No human life is ordinary when viewed up close.
Pavlína grows up in a household where everyone means well, and yet everyone argues every day. My father can't stand my mother's cries, she sees him as a drunkard, my grandparents know best, my sister has her own world. She spends her first years in primary school still under the supervision of a comrade teacher parroting communist propaganda, looking with fear at the rain that may contain radioactive fallout from Chernobyl, and is awakened from her sleep by terrifying images of World War III unleashed by the imperialists.
However, even a revolution will not bring the expected change to the lives of a complex teenager and her perpetually dissatisfied parents - people are still the same, money is the only measure of success, and the scissors between the more capable citizens (or those who have a better starting position) and the rest of the nation are mercilessly opening. Pavlína would also like to grab a piece of happiness for herself, but she still doesn't know how. And the relationships within her family are getting worse and more twisted every day...
